Regarding Yu-Na's spins, I noticed an unusual burst of applause for her layback spin. Maybe that made an impression on the judges. I don't know.

The point margins between everyone are so insignificant that I feel it's anyone's game tomorrow. Nobody has anything locked up, so the best FS should win it...which is good. This competition is not over yet.

[QUOTE=ks777;565178]Everyone has different opinions. If you can't handle it, maybe you shouldn't be checking discussion boards? I don't hate Yuna. I don't think many people hate Yuna on this board. Just the score didn't reflect what she did on the ice is what some people are saying...[/QUOTE

I wish everyone is more open-minded like you but I've seen some haters here and you would probably agree that Yuna has the most haters these days. I can understand that as well since she's the top dog. maybe you're right. I was being too sensitive since Yuna is my fav skater. but my opinion was that the score reflected exactly what she did on ice, and people should learn to live with that.

judges should have to give news conferences after competitions Then people could ask them why Yuna's spins were scored higher than Alissa's.

Still, it's hard to get fussed given that Yuna and Miki are tied and Alissa and Ksenia are tied. In the end it's up to the skaters to bring it tomorrow. They are all well placed for what they put out there today. Nobody has been unfairly buried. (well, some posters are saying Kanako but I haven't watched yet) And there are about four other girls in the fight for the podium, including Mao.

hmm. If Yuna or Miki don't win it'll be because they seriously messed up. I think the fight is tight for bronze. Maybe a surprise for silver but it'll be because Yuna or Miki messed up. But you can't count anyone out for bronze at this point.

Maybe so. But if someone told me after the men's SP that Taka would move up from 6th place to take Silver, that Dai would finish off the podium, Oda messing up the math yet again
and Artur winning bronze, I would not have believed it. Ice is slippery.

I think you're being a bit sensitive here. Nobody (for the most part -- I did see some Korean bribing comments) is saying Yuna is evil or a bad person. We are simple analyzing her program.

That said, we are comparing her to other skaters along with her other programs. We compare to other programs to point out what we know she can do and to other skaters.

For me personally, I think the placements are OK, but I question elements of her scores, namely her spins scores. That has been my main criticism throughout.

Anyway, I think it's reasonable for people to compare, especially since we haven't seen her all season.

Well, Mrs.P, I am not calling you a hater. Actually I am fine with the comments you make. but the people whom I have problems with are the ones that say "oh Yuna bribed the judges again, I just hate Yuna because she wins even though she doesn't deserve it"
Yes, some people here bluntly say that.

I am a Kanako fan but her score seemed reasonable. She did not get credit for her 3x3, had a bobble/stepout on her 2A and it looked like she had a skid of sorts on one of her spins. Not her best performance but not so bad either for her first time at senior worlds.

The judges did seem to favor Alena and Ksenia's energetic skating and Kanako did bring energy. But she isn't polished enough (and still too new) to get breaks from the judges when she is not clean on her elements.

All of the scores seemed to be on the low side until the two Russian Ladies and Caro skated. Suddenly the scores felt inflated compared to the marks seen earlier.

It's just figure skating and is meant to be enjoyed rather than thinking the CoP is actually all that accurate or non-political.

Kanako score is a little low. Didnèt see her skate so canèt comment on the downgrade on her 3T+3T... but I am sure she will bring it home in the FS... and can move up the ranking a few spots. I donèt see either Korppi, Kostner or the two Russians skating clean...given what they had deliver so far...

Right now Cizney has the best chances of fighting for bronze, but she has to stay on her feet....its alot of pressure when you know you are only 1-2 away from a medal. Best of luck to all and hope FS is not loaded splats/drama like in men FS... LOL
